Students make Black Mirror-style robot dog on 3D printer

The popular show'Black Mirror' may be on hold due to the pandemic spreading across the globe, but fans of the dystopian world can create a part of the sci-fi series on their own. A Stanford student built a robot dog similar to that used in the episode titled'Metalhead' that hunts and kills humans in an apocalyptic setting. The miniature version, called the Stanford Pupper, was developed using a 3D printer, a PlayStation controller and other common pieces - and the team has shared all the details for the public to use. It has 12 degrees of freedom, meaning it can goes backwards, forwards, side-to-side and also features a'sneaky mode' that mimics the movement of a real canine creeping on the floor.
